After only six weeks in office, Liz Truss has resigned as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
On October 20 in the late afternoon, she announced it.
She stated in a statement that was read out outside Downing Street: “I took office during a period of significant economic and global turmoil.

Businesses and families were concerned about how they would pay their payments.
My election was based on a promise to alter this. We met our electricity bill obligations. I am aware, though, that the circumstances prevent me from carrying out the Conservative Party’s mandate for my election.
Therefore, I have informed His Majesty the King that I am stepping down as Conservative Party leader. I spoke with Sir Graham Brady, the 1922 committee’s chairman, this morning. We’ve decided that the next week will see the conclusion of the leadership election.
Boris Johnson, who resigned from his position as prime minister in July due to a slew of scandals, is replaced by Truss.
